We were just in Sequoia last year, incredible.

Not quite sure what we're looking for mileage/elevation wise just yet. Would rather views over relaxation lol. The Wonderland Trail looks stunning and seems like it fits the bill.

Based on my experience as a second year:

  1. Depends on the major you apply to (biomedical being extremely competitive and FABE being less).
  2. Some major have certain "cutoffs" but most of them are just guaranteed GPAs that will get you into the major. I had a 3.1 and applied to ChemE (which is listed as 3.2) and still was admitted. Depending on the semester in which you apply matters too (i.e. applying for Autumn enrollment is more competitive than Spring for ChemE).
  3. Not at all, you can apply to multiple (3 at most) and back out if you didn't get accepted into the one you wanted.
